8 Creative High School Names

MISD is looking at and projecting future growth, which may result in another high school. While they do that, though, I decided to focus on what really matters about this new school: a kick-butt name and mascot.

LegacyRidge High School PegaiYes, the plural of flying horse is not Pegusi. Or Pegusus. Or Pegususes. It’s Pegai. English is a stupid language. Still, having a majestic, magical AND mythical mascot is pretty sweet. School Colors: Red, Green, Rainbow

Leland Mallett High School CommasProps. School Colors: Calves White, Khaki

Big Pond High School MegalodonsI don’t know, man. A 60-foot, 100 ton shark-monster of death seems a little intimidating. Like a lot. This prehistoric shark is extinct (thank goodness), but isn’t it time we had some fish in the MISD rotation?School Colors: Shark Grey, Blood Red, Fossil Brown

Piney High School LumberjacksBurly, flannel-clad forest workers with chainsaws? Oh, yeah. Not only are Lumberjacks intimidating, they also represent a down-home, hard-working group of people. But for real now: flannel’s where it’s at.School Colors: red plaid, blue plaid, green plaid, yellow plaid…

Flatland High School OpossumsYeah, they’re ugly, smelly, and recently smooshed. But no one can defeat you if they think you’re already dead. School Colors: tire black, stomach green

Bob Ross Memorial High School SquirrelsOh, Bob, we miss you so much. Here’s a high school named after you and your little buddies. We know their art department will be legendary, and their football team will just beat the devil out of them. I wish I could paint like you.School Colors: All of them.
